And parents, here's a nice bonus: kids eat free three days a week. Three days. With what it costs to take a family out these days, that's a pretty big win. Great food, good service, cold drinks, happy kids, and a bill that doesn't make you immediately regret leaving the house. We'll definitely be back.

A local favorite. Their food is usually pretty good. Their chips and salsa are addicting. And their…read morepricing is pretty reasonable. So far I've tried: Chicken ranchero enchilada 4.5/5 - the ranchero sauce is awesome, the chicken is sometimes on the dry side Tortilla soup with chicken 5/5 - it's an unusual take on tortilla soup but it works. Tons of mushrooms, lots of chicken, and they give you avocado, tortilla strips, lots of melting cheese, rice, pico de gallo, and a toasted buttered bread to dip. Chicken ranchero chalupa 5/5 - hard to eat but super yummy My biggest compliant is when ordering to go sometimes they give you the wrong thing. The last time I ordered a chili releno filled with cheese they gave me one with beef, which I don't eat. So check your order. Oh but they do give chips and salsa every time, so big plus there!

Ordered my food and found a piece of hair in my food. When I mentioned it to the waitress she seemed to be in a bitter mood.

I believe all locations seem to suffer with the same dilemma.

Scroll down if you just want the summary. I was looking for a private room for about 20 people last minute in December and every restaurant in Houston was either booked or wanted to charge x amount with a # of guests!! Glad someone recommended this place because when I called my first impression with Wendy was a relief. She explained the party room, the food options, and even offered to make us a fresh tres leches cake [we regret this :(] all descriptions and options were clearly explained. Loved that we booked the reservation during their Happy hour and we could take advantage of the drinks and Wendy came out announcing last call for HH. The day of: our party room was ready and set up. Loved they even made a sign and balloons for the occasion (sad I didn't have pictures) Our drink orders were taken right away and chips/ salsa and black beans were brought out. My 8 year old son loved the black beans with chips! That was a huge hit for the kids! Wendy stayed on top of our table and brought the food: Fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp came out in the sizzling hot plate, and smelled amazing. We could have split each plate with two people but everyone had leftovers from their plate. I asked for both flour and corn tortillas and they really were hard to pick which one to eat as they were both really good! They were able to put Tajín on the rim for my margarita and that was one of the best margaritas I've had I asked for another one. As people were done they cleared the table which that is a plus. I loved Wendy and several other servers were super helpful taking care of us and the communication among them was top tier. Every guest complimented the fajitas were really good and look forward to order for the holiday office parties. I only have a picture of the leftover food we had and it was a lot!!! I know next time I have a big party I will contact this restaurant first to host it. This is a true hidden gem in Houston! Food: HUGE portion of Grilled chicken, fajita steak, shrimp: 5/5 Homemade tortillas: tried both 5/5 Restroom: small but clean 5/5 Margaritas: On point 5/5 Jamaica water: personally I'm not a super sweet drink person 4/5 Hospitality (server Wendy): 5/5 Lots of communication and very friendly Party Back room: Private and secluded 5/5 (loved we could hear the ourselves and some music and the A/C was blowing hard but we asked to be controlled) Price: Very reasonable for the amount of food 5/5

Although the cleanness, ambiance and service of the place was good, the food was the problem. The food was underwhelming... FAKE FLOUR TORTILLAS!! As a Mexican that had been coming here for the BIG HOMEMADE tortillas, this packaged small and tough tortillas were a shame to say the least. The portions also were smaller than usual, and no seasoning at all. The "barbacoa" was actually desebrada and it was TOUGH AND DRY. My son could not keep chewing. The chorizo for the egg... I spit it out . The tortillas were tough and fake... for the price, man, good ole Dennys or gas station would have been better. Sorry but not coming back.

My friend had the meal: a piece of fried fish and fried shrimp along with signature seafood rice. My lunch plate was $15, my friends was almost $25, so not a cheap meal for lunch. The service started well, but she sort of forgot about us for tea and water refills later. The food tasted fine. Their signature cocktail sauce was spicey--not too spicy, but a little thin in my opinion and could be thicker. The place was clean and quiet since we were the only ones there excluding the staff.

This place has been Mexican Restaurants and Seafood spots in the past but this time I think they finally nailed it. It has basically the same layout as it's predecessors however with upgrades and much cleanliness. But the best upgrade ever here is... The Food! I ordered the whole catfish which was served surprisingly with shrimp fried rice a salad and some fries. This catfish is served headless which is perfect and the flavors is one of the best whole catfish I've had in ALL of Houston. Yes even better than Captain Toms which is up the street. The shrimp fried rice was extremely good. Ranks as one of the better shrimp fried rice spots I've had outside of China town. Although its made up of popcorn sized shrimp, the flavor profile is phenomenal. Let me note that as a seafood spot they also have some great fajita and chicken alternatives for tacos and quesadillas. Including even a hamburger however I did not try them. The drinks from the bar are nicely balanced and the presentation of them are wonderful. The authenticity of this Mexican style seafood spot is on par and the flavors are perfect on the seafood items I've tried so far. Oh and the bathrooms are spotless and clean. That makes a major difference in eating establishments. This spot is definitely a staple in the area and I highly recommend this place over any other major chain Seafood spot. They deserve the red carpet in the seafood space. Be Blessed and Prosper
